Chapter 4: Ups and Downs A tense crisis turned invisible in half an hour, and the speed was so fast that not only did the minions of the Bowang Battalion scratch their heads, but even the soldiers of the Mingzhou Battalion, who had always trusted their own leaders, were staring at each other one by one.
Wang Deren left, and was told by the first few words of the sect that he would not fight the battle, but not only did he not fight, but even returned the gift to the sect leader, Wang Deren's guy was cheeky and took it back.
Not only did he take the gift back, but before leaving, Wang Deren was generous once and took the initiative to leave twenty war horses. is not only generous, but also respectful, as if Cheng Mingzhen helped Bowangshan a lot last night It's strange, it's strange, is the sun coming out of the west, and the Mingzhou camp is confused, no one knows what medicine Wang Deren is jealous of today, and what is even more confused is those minions who originally belonged to Wang Deren's command, made a mistake last night, and were afraid of the crime and sheltered in the Mingzhou camp.
When they saw the pursuers, they thought that their lives would be in danger.
Unexpectedly, Wang Deren not only stepped forward to ask Cheng Mingzhen for it, but also didn't even ask about the belonging of these defectors.
It was as if they had never existed in the camp of Bowang Mountain, and they were gone, leaving no trace like the tip of the grass.
This feeling of being ignored is very uncomfortable, although attracting the attention of the king is not necessarily a good thing, and it may bring more danger to everyone.
Looking at the distant backs of the former robes, everyone wanted to chase but didn't dare to chase, wanted to shout but didn't dare to shout, and for a while they were like children who had lost their way home, sad and lonely.
If it were normal times, Cheng Mingzhen would definitely have noticed the mood swings of the minions, and would take various measures to appease them.
But he doesn't seem to be in a good mood today.
Since sending Wang Deren away, he has bowed his head and been silent, and when he eats, he has not taken a bite, and he doesn't know the taste of food.
Wang Ermao saw that his good friend was not in a high mood, so he walked over with a smile, handed him a freshly roasted jerky, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter, I regret not killing Wang Deren, if we killed him last night, we must be unable to get out."
"No" Cheng Mingzhen shook his head with a wry smile, took the jerky, and took a big bite viciously.
"I'm thinking about a few things that Wang Deren once said at the wine table.
Li Yuan borrowed Turkic soldiers, and Liu Wuzhou and Xue Ju also accepted the title of Ashina family" "How many times have you thought of means to fight for the world" thought about it, and then shook his head and sighed.
"I'd rather be responsible for the people of the world than for the people of the world to bear me.
Throughout the ages, aren't all the heroes and heroes like this?"
Cheng Mingzhen didn't pick up, just blindly smiled and sighed.
I don't know why, as soon as he mentioned the news that Li Yuan and others were going south through the Turkic forces, he felt panicked in his heart.
Maybe it was the imprint that was held in his father's arms when he was a child and put on the battle flag of the Great Sui Mansion.
Even if he became a robber, he still thought he was a Sui person in his bones.
Although his father, who instilled this concept in him back then, had already died on a beacon tower on the Great Wall at this time.
"You eat slowly, I'll go and see those new brothers" Wang Ermao saw that he couldn't explain Cheng Mingzhen, so he simply stopped being verbose.
There are a lot of things I don't understand in life, and everything goes well.
Bear with it, and forget it.
The days have to go on, and people can't fight against fate.
The minions who came down from Bowang Mountain had already seen Wang Ermao's bravery last night, and when they saw him walking towards him with a smile, they quickly put down the rice bowl in their hands and got up to give a salute.
"Mali's meal, after eating, continue to hurry, from here to Mingzhou is still far away.
If you don't hurry up, the dry food on your body will definitely not be enough to eat" Wang Ermao waved his hand and mobilized loudly.
The minions didn't expect him to come over and say such a sentence, and they were at a loss.
Wang Ermao grinned again, raised his voice a few points and said, "Eat, eat."
Don't be stunned, lest it get cold.
The world is big, and the food is the biggest.
After eating, if anyone wants to go back to Bowang Mountain, just pack up and leave.
If you don't want to go back to Bowang Mountain, when you go to Ping'en, you will be divided into 30 acres of land per person and live a down-to-earth life."
Handan County, where he lives, has just started farming this year, and there is a huge shortage of food and labor.
Now that the passage for transporting grain from Liyang Cang to the north has been opened, half of the immediate difficulties have been solved.
Therefore, the question of the remaining half of the workforce is on the table.
The followers did not know that Wang Ermao had the idea of abducting them and bringing them home to become farmers, and when they heard that there were thirty acres of land to be divided, the only little nostalgia for the Bowang camp dissipated.
Surrounded him, he boldly asked, "General Wang can really do what he says, even if we are newcomers, can we get thirty acres of land?"
"The newcomer is not a human being," Wang Ermao asked with a smile, "You can inquire, in our Mingzhou camp, even if Huazi comes all the way, as long as he goes to the yamen to register a number, he can also get a piece of land."
Of course, these 30 acres are not all good fields that are convenient for water.
Useful people and useless people can never be treated the same" After hearing this, the enthusiasm in their hearts was even higher, and they surrounded Wang Ermao and continued to ask: "Then what kind of people are useful, and what kind of people are useless, can General Wang tell us about it?"
"Like you, who can speak well and have a little courage, it is called useful" Wang Ermao pointed to a minion who was closest to him and had been taking the lead in questioning, and joked with a smile.
"If you can't knock out a fart with three sticks, and the thief doesn't know how to resist when he hits the door, such a person is useless.

It's not that Lao Tzu doesn't look down on him, you just give him a gold brick, and you have to be robbed by others when you turn your head."
"Haha, hehe" The minions laughed, and the tension and uneasiness in their hearts gradually subsided.
Those who dare to go up to the mountains to be bandits, of course, are not obedient masters.
There is enough reason to enjoy the treatment of thirty acres of good land.
But there are also people who are tired of the days of digging in the soil, so they separated the crowd and stepped forward, boldly asking: "If we follow Lord Cheng, or follow the general, can we divide a few more acres of land?"
"Then, I have to say something else," Wang Ermao shook his head slightly.
"Right now, Lord Cheng and I are both civil officials.
You don't need too many soldiers around."
"My lord, my lord, it's a civil official," the minions widened their eyes, and no one believed that what Wang Ermao said was the truth.
God, when such a civil official rushed down the mountain last night, the two surnamed Cheng and the surnamed Wang were cut off one by one, and the knife in his hand was dripping blood.
If the civil officials of the Dou family army are all like this, then all the generals must be bull-headed horses in front of the palace of the king of Yama "I'm the commander of Handan County now."
Wang Ermao knew that everyone couldn't accept his words for a while, so he pointed to his nose and explained.
Stretched out his hand and pointed to Cheng Mingzhen, who was sitting on the stone in the distance, "He, the Cheng Da master in your mouth, is now the county guard of Xiangguo and Wu'an counties. ” "Uh" Everyone froze for a moment, and the expressions on their faces were strange and all-encompassing.
In these years, almost everyone who has a little ability has picked up a knife, trying to gain fame and wealth in the troubled times.
It is really unreasonable that there are people who would rather put down their knives and become magistrates.
But these two people who acted unreasonably made everyone feel very cordial.
Just like the older brother next door, brother, you don't have to worry about him taking a knife to rob your family of food.
And don't be wary of him eyeing a few good purlins in your backyard.
Maybe it's because the sword light and sword shadow have seen too much, and everyone hopes to have a peaceful night, Wang Ermao explained the truth to everyone, and some people who originally wanted to join the Mingzhou camp and continue to make a living on the knife head felt a little disappointed, but they were very peaceful in their hearts.
They knew that they had left Bowangshan this time, at least, they would not regret their choice today.
Even if you can't get ahead, at least you can be a farmer, marry a wife and have children.
It's not like he was under the command of Wang Da, who killed all day long, but he didn't know where his final outcome was "If you really don't want to farm, don't worry" Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's interest was suspended, Wang Ermao carefully explained the basic policy of Xiangguo County to the new returnees, "Each county needs more than 20 archers to maintain law and order.
On the side of the Mingzhou camp, a small number of villagers are also needed.
But these two positions are not easy to obtain, and you need to rely on the real skills of your fists and feet to test.
After passing the exam, and then going through the selection of the competent officials, you can eat this bowl of official rice.
If you can't pass the test, even if you are the emperor and his second uncle, you have to go home and farm."
When the crowd heard him say it with humor, they burst into laughter.
After laughing, everyone has a preliminary plan for their future.
After happily eating lunch, the two parts of the soldiers and horses joined together and continued to march.
After walking less than twelve or thirteen miles, the smoke and dust suddenly rose in front of him, and the scouts sent out instigated their mounts and rushed over.
"The master of Wang sent someone to block the road" The minions who came down from Bowang Mountain were taken aback, and instinctively thought about the unexpected situation to Wang Deren.
After all, this kind of behavior like today, which suffered losses but did not want to retaliate at all, was very rare in the past in the Wang Da Boss.
In other words, a similar situation has never happened before, even if it is not someone else's opponent, Wang Da has to find a way to disgust others.
In a moment of surprise, the brothers of the Mingzhou Battalion beside him had quickly formed a team under the supervision of the low-level officers.
The sword hand is in front, the lance hand is in the center, and the archer is behind.
Shrink into a small formation along the hills along the road, and you can go into battle at any time without the boss having to worry about it.
"Ashamed" The minions who came down from Bowang Mountain were so ashamed of their peers' skillful skills that their faces were hot, and they drew their weapons one after another, forming a phalanx next to the battle formation of the Mingzhou camp.
The scouts closest to the team had already rushed to the front, quickly leaned over on horseback, and shouted loudly: "Report, Captain, General Wang Fubao has brought troops to pick it up, and it is less than ten miles away from our battalion."
Immediately after, the second group of scouts arrived, and the news brought back was more accurate, "Report, Du Lieutenant, General Wang Fubao and General Shi Zan each brought 5,000 soldiers and horses to meet them."
It's still eight miles from my camp."
It was Wu Tianxi who was called the lieutenant by the scouts, but he didn't ask Cheng Mingzhen for instructions, nodded in a big way, and ordered in a deep voice, "Take the initiative to contact the two generals Wang and Shi, and say that we will have a safe journey."
For the grace of help, please allow me to thank you in person after the meeting."
"No" and the two scouts arched their hands, turned their horses' heads and walked away.
As you walk, use the flag in your hand to contact the scouts farther away.
The scouts farther away also pulled out a few flags and replied up and down in their hands.

A moment later, another scout came back and gave Wu Tianxi the details of the reinforcements.
A number of cavalry, a number of foot soldiers, the appearance of the troops, the speed of the march, many data, and so on.
What was even more surprising was that the scout had already returned.
There was only less than half a pillar of incense before and after, and I actually ran back and forth for the second time "They must have a way of delivering messages in echelons" There are many smart people among the newly attached minions, and when you think about it, you can understand why the scouts come and go so quickly.
At the same time, everyone's understanding of the Mingzhou camp has also rapidly improved to a higher level.
It is no wonder that in the morning, Wang Da was reluctant to take the initiative to attack when he had the advantage of troops, and if the two sides really fought each other, the Bowang army might not be able to leave these two hundred Mingzhou warriors behind.
Once the two sides can't end the battle within an hour, when the reinforcements of the Mingzhou battalion arrive, the Bowang army will have to suffer a big loss is so elite, even if it is known as a village warrior, being in it is enough to be proud for a while, and many minions who had already planned to disarm and return to the field became enthusiastic again, hoping that they could pass Wu Tianxi's examination school and join the ranks of the Mingzhou battalion. is so elite, with such a master, more than a hundred is enough to be a thousand.
If there are 5,000 people in the whole army, there is still no place to go in the entire Hebei Province:
